The national flag of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti lipp) is a tricolour featuring three equal horizontal bands of blue (top), black, and white. The normal size is 105 by 165 centimetres (41 in × 65 in). In Estonian it is colloquially called the "sinimustvalge" (literally "blue-black-white"), after the colours of the bands.
First adopted on 21 November 1918 after its independence, it was used as an national flag until 1940 when the Soviet Union and Germany occupied Estonia. After World War II, from 1944 to 1990, the Soviet Estonian flag consisted first of a generic red Soviet flag with the name of the republic, then changed to the red flag with a band of blue water waves near the bottom. The Estonian flag, which was also used by the Estonian government-in-exile, was officially re-adopted 7 August 1990 one year before its official restoration of independence.

Sender Janne from Estonia (fb friend) - in the fb group PIF cards - Thank you so much, Janne!
PIF is part of a movement - Pay It Forward - and we have a small group where we send smiles forward :) 






Our motto is “Pay It Forward” - Meaning: When someone does you a big favour don’t pay it back… pay it forward.
On Friday, April 28, 2018 will be the next world-wide “Pay it Forward Day” (http://payitforwardday.com/) – so that’s where the name of our group comes from.
The Aim of this group is to travel around the world by getting postcards from countries world-wide, to make each other happy by sending beautiful cards and to create friendship by increasing contacts between postcard collectors. We want to be a group of active members only, we want to be a rather small group regarding the number of members but a big one regarding the number of countries our members are from and send from respectively.
We are NO swap group and have special sending modus which makes sure that everybody gets card!
